While searching deep into the bowels of Google last night for related information on Canadian fisheries and new 2018, 2019 documents to use in my own personal research and self education, I came across the following PDF file. The optics of the terms described in the PDF file don't sound good to me. I don't know enough about this type of fishery and I will be continuing my research on this topic. Does anyone have any information about the Foreign owned super trawlers fishing off the west coast of BC in 2019? It would be nice to understand that everything that we are concerned about must truly not matter one iota if DFO is allowing this type of fishery to happen in BC waters.
Those vessels listed at the bottom of the pdf file are owned and crewed locally.While searching deep into the bowels of Google last night for related information on Canadian fisheries and new 2018, 2019 documents to use in my own personal research and self education, I came across the following PDF file.

Yes this particular ship and situation should not be allowed on our coast. Nobody is benefitting from this. If this ship is solely a processing plant they must be receiving fish from other fish boats. Maybe these boats that supply the fish will be crewed by our locals. I wonder how they would transfer fish between ships, especially in such large quantities and unprocessed.Thanks for the insight. This one will be processing hake quota on our coast this summer. I am told it holds approximately 20 million pounds. None of the fish will hit our shores. From what I understand it is Polish registered and carries a foreign crew that will be taking work away from local processors located on BC shores. The ship doesn't fish, only processes. I really don't see a value in this type of operation. Sad that our government is allowing this...why are they taking away jobs that British Columbia could easily manage to do. Including the opportunity at building a local economy by providing work for local people. Justin T. fails again.

Ah yes - I just googled this. They use a vacuum and suck the hake right out of the cod end.Our local Hake trawlers have been transferring , at sea, their "cod ends "to off shore processors for years.
Bumped into another conversation about this on the commercial fishing FB page today.
Thought I would add it here. True or not, this is the second times I have seen reference to them buying ground fish quota.
Also interesting to see how little is known for fact even among those in the commercial sector that took part in the conversation.
Is this crap not something DFO should be curtailing, in light of all that is happening???????

Wow.
Wonder how many salmon they catch?
The Russian midwater trawler catches hundreds of salmon with a 1 hour set.
These supper trawlers must clean up all that swim though there nets.
Sickening
